WITH YOU FROM INTERNSHIP TO GRADUATION
TECH PROGRAM ROADMAP
Beginning your career with Van Wall doesn’t have to wait until college. If you’re 16 years old or above and already interested in pursuing a service technician pathway after graduating high school, there may be an opportunity for a high school internship!
WHAT WILL I DO AS AN INTERN?
As a high school intern, you’ll partner with one of our Senior Technicians to gain hands-on experience in our shop through a variety of tasks & responsibilities. These may include assisting technicians, turning wrenches with guidance & supervision, riding along on service calls, organizing & putting away parts, detailing equipment, and providing general shop maintenance.
WILL INTERNING HELP ME PREPARE FOR A TECH PROGRAM SPONSORSHIP?
Our high school internships provide a number of benefits to students. They not only give you the chance to earn while you learn, but also help provide a better understanding of what our Tech Programs and full-time service careers are like. While there’s no guarantee that a high school internship will lead to a Van Wall Tech Program sponsorship, they’re a great first step in helping both you – and us – feel out whether it could be a fit.
IS IT SAFE FOR ME TO WORK IN A VAN WALL SHOP?
All of our interns are fully supervised in a safe & friendly work environment. Backed by the support our team members, Van Wall works to ensure high school internships are as educational as they are enjoyable.
